A Liitle Magic shop

A Little Magic shop

Vayham has a magic shop, though its not quite what you would think from the name alone, as it is mostly a s copying shop and book binders producing books and other documents which operates out of a building on a back street near the towns north gate and sells the books and other documents it produces from a stall in the great market.  The scriptorium employs several gifted scribes, illustrator’s illuminators and book binders supported by a sizable company of assistants and apprentices. The shop keeps a library of several hundred volumes on all manner of subjects which it will reproduce for the paying customer. The shop will also for a small fee publish manuscripts for a writer as there is a small literate community in Vayham who are always eager to buy a new book. If the book sells then a percentage of the profit will go to the author. A certain amount of scribe work is also done but this tends to be at the high end, title deeds bonds bills of sale, rather than the routine writing of letters between illiterate parties and going here for that will get you directed to one of the several scribes near by or in the great marked, who specialize in that part of the trade.

However to those that need them it sells material components for many low level spells as well as providing transcription inks and good quality vellum for spell books. Its owner Avron Marn is a southerner from Mendarn apparently who is by repute at least a wizard and even if he is not does seem to have a good working knowledge of things arcane and the coin to trade in magic items and genuine ones at that even if most are of the less powerful or limited use sort. His stock is small and as you would expect quite pricy and he seldom offers any great discounts on his sales and haggled hard over the materials he purchases. Any complaints are met with quiet reason and a certain confidence that his is the only place for miles around where such items and materials may be bought or sold so in the end you either take his price or go without.

He also has been known to act as a contact for those seeking bespoke enchanted items however this is a slow and expensive process as the few enchanters who will take on such work are mostly in cities far away from here.
